I think what can be forgotten when studying these cases is that you need to have a story that makes sense to go along with the existing physical evidence. The contemporary police themselves suggested a pre-arranged meeting, the fact that she was incarcerated and unable to predict when she would be released could be addressed with a story like I suggested.
I respectfully submit DrHopper that Catharine Eddowes wounds may seem similar in nature but the wounds and the murder overall was unlike the previous victims in many important ways. For one we have the new odd wounds without purpose on her upper thigh and pubic area , the new cut around the navel, the new facial wounds, the new colon section placed between the arm and body...and we have a cut and rip to acquire the apron section, brand spanking new.
The location is very important also. It is with the Eddowes murder that the police found justification for their belief the man lived in the East End. The apron section placed at Goulston suggested a departure route. That it was at the entrance of model dwellings that housed 90% + Jewish folks is significant also.
